Rukkhadevatāya vacanaṃ sutvā supaṇṇo osānagāthamāha

saṅkeyya saṅkitabbāni rakkheyyānāgataṃ bhayaṃ

anāgatabhayā dhīro ubho loke avekkhatīti.

Tattha anāgataṃ bhayanti pāṇātipātādīhi viramanto diṭṭhadhammikaṃpi samparāyikaṃpi anāgataṃ bhayaṃ rakkhati nāma. Pāpamitte ca veripuggale ca anupasaṅkamanto anāgataṃ bhayaṃ rakkhati nāma. Evaṃ anāgataṃ bhayaṃ rakkheyya. Anāgatabhayāti anāgate bhayakāraṇā. Taṃ bhayaṃ sampassanto dhīro idhalokañca paralokañca avekkhati oloketi nāma.
